The Visit

The interstellar vehicle emerged from
the tunnel after a voyage that had only taken but the briefest of
moments. It entered into the orbit of a tiny object which circled a
very bright star.

“We are now circling the object and
we will begin our observations immediately ” they radioed to their
base.

“This is Zedor,” their world
answered back. “We want a report as soon as possible. Proceed with
caution.”

They drove their vehicle around the
object thousands of times and started watching it very carefully with
their ultra-blue rays. They were totally invisible to the objects
they were observing.

After a very long, long time,
communications were established again.

“Z-21 to Zedor, stand by for report
number one” the commander of the vehicle messaged mission central
in his world.

“You are now cleared for report
number one, Z-21.” came the reply.

“Here is our first report, Zedor. We
have downloaded quadrillions of data quips from our blue-ray
machine.”

“The creatures that inhabit this tiny
object call it 'Earth.' Most of it is water, but they also have very
large areas that they call 'continents.' The first examination of
their central control center, which is located in something that they
call 'brain' reveal that they have very limited intelligence. They
are billions of years behind us in that respect. They will be very
easy pickings for our advanced civilization.”

“Well, Z-21, right now we do not need
to proceed with any new conquests. Tell me more about this 'Earth'
that you came upon.”

“Yes, sir. In the areas that they
call 'continents' they have subdivisions which they call 'countries.'
Each country is ruled by a chief. They are very primitive in that
respect.”

“Z-21, are they a peaceful
creatures?”

“No, sir. They have something that
they call 'wars' in which they annihilate each other.”

“What? Could you please repeat that?
I find that very hard to believe.”

“It is the sad truth, sir. Our
blue-rays have examined something that they call 'encyclopedias.'
They are permanent records of their recorded history. Millions of
these creatures have been eliminated in these 'wars.'”

“It is indeed very sad, Z-21. We may
have to teach them something. Are you up to the task?”

“Your wish is my command, Zedor.”

“Tell me Z-21, which 'country' seems
to be the most advanced?”

“Zedor, upon more close examination
of the data-quips that we have now placed permanently in our very
powerful storage centers, it is revealed that the most advanced and
powerful country calls itself 'USA.'”

“What is that, Z-21?”

“It is something which they call an
'abbreviation' or 'acronym'. It is the name of a country which calls
itself the United States of America.”

“Why is it so advanced and powerful,
Z-21?”

“It is because they invented
something which they call 'nuclear weapons.'”

“Tell me more about those weapons.”

“Well, sir, compared to our weapons,
they are next to nothing. But in their 'wars' if they use these crude
and primitive devices they can eliminate millions of the creatures in
this 'Earth' in a matter of seconds.”

“Z-21, I am appointing you to teach
this powerful 'chief' something that we learned in our world millions
of years ago.”

“I am at your orders, sir”

The crew of the stellar vehicle
proceeded to scan the 'encyclopedia' that they had obtained from the
warring 'Earth' creatures. In just but a couple of seconds they
obtained the location of this powerful but primitive country that
called itself 'USA.' Using their super fast H-879 stellar speed they
proceeded to the capital of the country. They were still using their
blue-ray powers on an 'invisible' mode. They proceeded to place their
ship just 100 feet above a place that the creatures called the 'White
House.'

“This is Z-21 to the rest of the
crew. We will proceed with operation 33MIR. Is everyone ready?”

“Yes sir, we are ready! The crew
screamed in unison.”

“Z-21 to shield coordinator. Remove
invisible mode and engage communications with the 'chief' of the
USA.”

The 'Earth' creatures had a very
amusing name for their own kind when they referred to people that
spent innumerable hours gawking at buildings, streets, monuments,
etc. They called them 'tourists.'

When the stellar ship became visible to
the tourists, they all started running in a panic.

“This is Z-21. We come in peace and
we wish to communicate with the chief of the USA.”

The voice enveloped the residence where
the 'chief' resided. The message was repeated over and over.

There was no answer from inside the
'White House.'

“This is Z-21 from inside the stellar
ship. You have three minutes to come out, or we will bring you out
forcefully to the garden of your residence.”

A man with dark skin and big ears came
out to the garden.

“What is it you want?” he shouted
toward the stellar ship.

“It is not about what we want, it is
all about what you are going to do if you want to live any longer.
This is commander Z-21 from a planet far-far away in another galaxy.
You have five minutes to sign an agreement where you will allow us to
destroy all of your nuclear weapons.”

“I will not do such a thing. We are
the most powerful country in the world”

“You are nothing! Do you want us to
give you a demonstration of what we can do to your city?”

“You are bluffing! Go to hell!”

“This is commander Z-21: if you do
not comply we will make ruble out of a building that you call the
'pentagon.'

“The USA does not kneel before
anyone.”

The stellar ship roared up and engaged
its invisible mode. It proceeded to place itself 100 feet above the
building that the earth creatures called the 'pentagon' and it sent
a warning to the people inside the building that they had 30 minutes
to leave. They complied. The whole episode was carried live by CNN to
the whole planet.

After the 'pentagon' was empty, the
stellar ship went up to a height of 3 miles and pointed its deadly
blue-ray toward the 'pentagon.' In less than five minutes it was a
useless pile of ruble.

“Z-21 to communications, engage the
'White House' in a secure line.”

“Done!” replied the clerk.

“Are you going to sign the document
that we asked you to sign?”

“We will not,” replied big ears.

“This is Z-21 to USA 'chief.' The
next building that we will raze will be the 'capitol.'”

“O.K., if you insist, I will sign.”
replied big ears.

Over the next 30 days, all nuclear
weapons in the planet called 'Earth' were destroyed.

“Z-21 to Zedor: The assignment that
you gave me has been finished. We are returning to home base.”
